died in 1964 and is buried in Frenchs Forest, New South Wales. Pearson subsequently, in partnership with Leroy, registered the trademark.
He did this in the backyard shed of his home in Kangaroo Street, Manly. Pearson worked on developing a new formula for sealing the coats. Because the garments were flammable around campfires, T. Stockmen at the time had gathered news of this garment from sailors who had subsequently left sailing to work on the land. Pearson who started Pearson Soap in Hamilton, New Zealand, took a consignment of Leroy Coats to Australia. The waterproofing of the clothing was by application of linseed oil to the cotton. The garments were originally constructed from the lightweight sails of the sailing ships.
He was able to manufacture oilskin rainwear for use by sailors on sailing ships in the local waters at the time. In the late 1800s, a Scot named Edward Le Roy emigrated to New Zealand. Not traditionally considered desk-wear, the coats were developed to protect horse riders from the rain and feature straps that hold the coat to the rider's leg. This style of coat originated in Australia workwear for stockmen. The trademark of Driza-Bone was first registered in 1933. The company was established in 1898 and is currently Australian owned and manufactures its products in Australia. Driza-Bone, originating from the phrase "dry as a bone", is a trade name for the company making full-length waterproof riding coats and apparel.
